Simplifying the difficult task of vesicle purification
Throughout their life-cycle, bacterial and mammalian cells have been shown to shed portions of their outermost lipid membranes that often contain carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids on their surfaces as well as within their lumen. Referred to
Improved characteristics of an industrial biocatalyst expressed in engineered E. coli
The constantly expanding field of biocatalysis is in search of novel enzymes to meet its new needs. The global market for enzyme biocatalysts in industrial applications was about $4.8 billion in 2014 and it is expected to
Psoriasis, more than a skin disease? The involvement of gut microbes
Psoriasis, is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a high prevalence, of which the exact cause is unknown. Genetic, immunologic and environmental factors all are involved. Psoriasis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, including Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis,
Two kinds of novel osmoregulation pathways in Escherichia coli
To cope with severe environmental changes, cell is equipped with various stress response pathways. Osmotic upshift (hyperosmotic shock) triggers water efflux from bacterial cell, and the resulting cell shrinkage is sensed by osmosensors embedded in the cytoplasmic
